Departed this life on Wednesday, Feb
23d, 1887, Mrs. Anna o. Lewis, wife of
Mr. Edmund Lewis, of Newark, Del
Mrs. Lewis was well known and high
ly esteemed in our community. She was
remarkable for her very amiable DISPOSE
ton and very winsome manners. Her
presence in the home and social circle
was a benediction. Like sunshine she car
ried Highland gladness wherevershe went.
Even during her years of lingering dis
ease and when suffering intense pain, she
would apologize for any impatient word
that escaped her lips, and express great
regret that she should give her loved
ones the least trouble when waiting on
her.
The crown of all natural gifts was the
grace of God in her heart. Mrs. Lewis
was n christian. Deeply conscious of her
sin and helplessness and after weeks of
great concern about her soul, she was led
BY the spirit of God to trust in Christ
alone for salvation; and on the profession
of this faith in Christ she was received
into the membership of the Presbyterian
Church, Jan. 2Sth 1874 Mrs. Lewis
loved the church and the Bible. When
in health she daily read portion of the
divine word, and when sickness prevent
ed her from enjoying this privilege, she
had some one other family read to her,
and thus, amid great bodily suffering, she
was wonderfully sustained and cheered
by the comfort of the scriptures"
Hence, as the close of life drew near she
expressed no regret for herself-her on
" grief was for the loved ones left be-
hind, whom she earnestly desired to meet
her in heaven. At length, after some
days of intense suffering, death came
suddenly to her relief but sudden death
was sudden glory. For. after all, there is
no death to the believer ; he simply falls
asleep in Jesus to awake in His perfect
likeness. We say, ain the midst oflife we
are in death" As christians, we may
better say, "In the midst Of death we are
in life" "For Christ hath abolished
death"
at is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust
And rise on strong exulting wing
TO live among the just.
Jesus, thou Prince of Life!
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with Thee on high"
